Question

Once C. gattii was identified and developed into an epidemic, scientists at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, as well as at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, paid attention. Between 1999–2007, there were 218 cases noted in humans with 19 deaths (8.7%) in British Columbia. The disease continues, but at a lower rate and has spread to mainland British Columbia and northwestern United States (Washington and Oregon). People cannot spread it from person to person or person to animal. Incubation may be between 6 weeks to 11 months. Questions 1. How do you think that this fungus got to Vancouver Island?
